Sir, Mr Hassall should have re-read what he had written before attempting to deflect criticisms about his mutilation of mildly worn teeth on spurious occlusal grounds and using dodgy marketing euphemisms for full-coverage ceramic crowns. He wrote: 'The patient attended with generalised tooth surface loss and a long-standing history of parafunction, temporomandibular disorder and limited opening'.1 In truth, Figures 10 and 19 in that article showed mild, mainly anterior, wear.

Sir, sadly, in our view, Mr Hassall's defence of his destructive overtreatment in the case he described in part two of his BDJ articles does him little credit.1 It was flawed by dubious assertions, an advertorial for Bioclear and sophistry about '360-degree veneers'.
